It was tempting Providence to allow the presence in camp of a burglar who was probably only waiting for his chance to "clean up"; doubly perilous now, indeed, since in any case of loss my record would be shown up, and Dorgan, if he had already recognized me as I had him, would not be slow to take advantage of my vulnerability.
Or should I turn informer, telling the contractor-partners of the risk they ran by keeping Dorgan in the force the risk that some night, after the money for the monthly pay-roll had been brought out from town, they would find the camp safe smashed and its contents gone?
Him must know um," declared Injun, being firmly convinced that Monty's actions indicated a close acquaintance with Dorgan. However, Monty couldn't give any spoken evidence that Dorgan had stolen him, so there the matter rested. And there was something else to occupy the boys' minds. There seemed to be a vague feeling of unrest at the ranch.
Whoever it was, he almost succeeded in bringing about the fool thing would have done it, if I hadn't got wise to the fact that there was something funny about it. I called up Dorgan. He said he'd meet me, as long as I had approached him first. I said I hadn't. We swore a little and called the fake meeting off. But it was too late. It got into the papers.
Some even went so far as to insinuate that Dorgan had purposely quickened the pace of life for Murtha by the dinners at Gastron's in order to get him out of the way, fearing that with his power within the organization Murtha might become a serious rival to himself. Whether there was any truth in the rumour or not, it was certain that Dorgan was of the stamp that could brook no rivals.
"You lie!" exclaimed the Silent Boss, forgetting both his silence and his superciliousness. The situation was tense as the girl faced him. "Go on, Sybil," urged Clare. "Be careful, woman," cried Dorgan roughly. Sybil Seymour turned quickly to her new assailant. "You are the man for whom we were all coined into dollars," she scorned, "Dorgan politician, man higher up!
"I wouldn't do that if I was you," he said, and he spoke in a sort of drawl, but there didn't seem to be any drawl in his cool, gray eyes. In spite of his condition Dorgan appeared to realize this, for he paused uncertainly.
Still, I don't like his 'next friends' in the case. One is his personal physician I don't know much about him. But Dorgan is one of the others." "We'll have to look into it," agreed Kennedy. "Meanwhile, would you like to know who your 'wolf' is that has been spreading rumours about broadcast?" "I would indeed," exclaimed Carton eagerly. "You were right about the statement I issued.
The sleeping quarters in the Hanley Ranch were altogether taken up by the extra help required to feed the threshers. So the threshers themselves occupied tents, and it was in one of these that Whitey and Injun were bedded, much to their joy. It fitted in with their plans to watch Dorgan, and see if they could learn something that would confirm their suspicions of him.
But th' judges say: 'Hold on, there; yell have to weigh out, an' a little later a notice is posted up that Dorgan is disqualified f'r ridin' undherweight in th' matther iv soul. On th' other hand, there's little Miss Maddigan, th' seamstress. She's all but left at th' post; she's jostled all th' way around, an' comes in lame, a bad last. But she's th' only wan iv th' lot that's kept th' weight.
